Funny. I'm sure it's good for dishes that require melted cheese because it's processed to maintain a certain viscosity and texture...but there are probably tastier cheeses out there. But hey...it's American!

Brown = flavor

You shoulda came by: there was enough food to feed at least another dozen people. :mrgreen:

Finally went to Ramen Mottainai today with a buddy of mine... :victory:

Had the miso ramen with the buttered corn added along with an order of gyoza (of course)... :victory: :woot:

Unfortunately, I was so jazzed to get out there that I forgot my cell phone and didn't get any pics. :banghead:

Did you like it?

:doh: Yeah, I did. :victory:

The gyoza were nice and crisp... And hot... I burned my mouth a bit, but it was a good burn. :beaten:

The gyoza filling tasted fresh and wasn't a meat-vegetable mass, but individual pieces, a telltale sign that they were homemade... Or at least appeared to be. :victory:

The miso broth was rich and flavorful, but a bit salty, and the ramen noodles were thick and near-al dente like the ones at Ramen California, another plus... I wish it had slices of chashu rather than chashu slivers, though.

Yup, the gyoza are pretty dayem good there. I love the miso ramen there but you're right...it comes with minced ground pork for the most part not the (hearty or otherwise) chashu slices one is accustomed to in ramen. It's one thing that particular ramen could do more of...just a little more meat...even if it's the minced/ground variety.

I actually ate the gyoza and miso ramen there a few days ago...it was my one "cheat" meal over the last few weeks.
